“This podcast would be soooooo much better if the host weren’t so blatantly Christian. How about we keep it unbiased, or advertise as such? If I wanted that kind of commentary on everything, I would’ve stayed in church.😑
Also maybe he educate him before he makes comments about other religions he...”Read full review »

“Most of these episodes are just the host telling his version of what he thinks happened based very loosely on some unknown sources or evidence.
It’s a good campfire tale, but that’s as far as it goes.”

“It’s a good story. But it’s hard for me to be asked to ‘put myself in Michael’s shoes’ when his violence began towards a woman who sexually rejected him. The beginning of so many stories that ends with a of murdered woman. He’s a misogynist. He didn’t try to kill those dudes who were behaving...”Read full review »

“As someone who grew up in the evangelical community I can relate to this haphazard diagnosis. There are many good evangelicals but also a handful of egocentric “healers” who are not at all schooled in the correct way to do anything as intense as an exorcism. I’m not catholic but exorcisms belong...”Read full review »

“If I could give this podcast zero stars I would, as it misrepresents itself as true crime while being a work of fiction utilizing harmful tropes. For example, in Season 1: While the narrator initially presents some facts and interviews locals, he then goes on, without any evidence whatsoever,...”Read full review »

Just enjoy it and ignore the YorkShire moaners who are well known in Britain for having a chip on their shoulder...”Read full review »

“I am not a religious institutionalist…. I believe in God, Angels, and Heaven.

This is how it all falls apart and really how the Vatican started to...”Read full review »

The entire narrative of the second season was biased as to what conclusions we should draw, and had scattered, inconsistent evidence to back up this conclusion.

“As a Brit, I find the lack of research and miss understanding of British geography and “The Troubles” to be infuriating. If so little has been put into just these two factors, why would I believe any more had gone in to the remainder of the story. I just can’t stand to listen any more.”
